Hi! I'd like to know if glass seed beads work well with this machine. Has anyone tried it with this type of bead? Thanks

Absolutely, that's all I've used with it to great success. Both sizes #11 and #8 work beautifully, as do the tiny bugle beads.

I use red glass beads as counters. They are generally available (CHEAP!) in a wide variety of colors in craft stores as vase fillers for fake flowers or sometimes as gravel for fish bowls.

Have never used it for the seeds you have listed, but know it will grind coffee beans up to an almost dust.Have enjoyed it, when I do decided to grind coffee beans.

yes I had used this last October to have kids make beaded breast cancer bracelets. We had no trouble.

I wind Janome bobbins all the time. It works with most machines. There are different sized spindles for different machines.

You kind of have to make sure the beads are pushed up to the neck piece because they move around up in the top part of neck piece, but pretty much stay up there (kind of a hard question to answer). Works better than any other I have tried.

LOL, you have contacted another bead lover! Actually, I just got out a tube of beads to try in the holder and it works just great! Never thought of it... THANKS :) (I used mine for lipsticks)

I have, it did a pretty good job, it was "mostly" seedless. I didn't use the finest screen that came with it though so I would imagine that if I would have that it would have gotten out most if not all of the seeds.

Seems to work best for larger hard seeds like pepper corns. Have not tried to grind the seeds you listed but i have tried to grind fennel. Most of the fennel seeds fall through without getting touched by the grinder. I imagine the same would happen to the small seeds you want to grind. You may need to get a mortar and pestal or try one of those electric gadgets that grinds coffee beans.

Hi: I have not yet had need to to make a thin bead. But I plan on trying this over the long weekend. If you don't hear from me by next Wednesday, ask the question again in case the Amazon system does not let me answer two times.

I would say it depends on the size of the beads. I've had this happened where very small beads mixed with some others, but they were very small.

I have been using this type of bead thread for a very long time, since using this type of thread. It is very rare that out of all the jewelry pieces I have made, I can count on one hand the times I have had anything break, with this thread. You wait when you try it, you will see how strong it is. Happy beading!!

Because its a cloning machine, I haven't tried to start any seeds. I'm not sure how that could work. But it's great for cloning. I've used it for orchids that are dying and also with some cuttings. I love it.

It works great for beads. They dont intermingle at all. They stay in their compartment

Hi! I loved it! I sprinkled over my colored polish, let it set for a few minutes, then put a coat of clear over it & it lasted over 5 days - & in GOOD shape. No beads coming off or anything. I was surprised.

I have used the bag and now I take them out of the bag and put them right in my glass jar. I like the beads without the mesh bag! Try it!

nuts will turn to paste. I know it does corn very well. I don't know about seeds. I imagine the harder the seed the better it will grind. I'm sure the warrenty is voided because it will clog the machine.
